SHE IS 21

Yes I actually remember that article...but that was several years ago now and a totally different topic (or maybe sub-topic..still race...not sure). I also dont recall her speaking publicly about that public outcry, though it’s possible I just don’t remember. She has expressed herself extremely eloquently here and an…

This should be getting more attention. I appreciate that she acknowledged her privilege and expressed gratitude for the comfort she enjoys. She is also very obviously aware that she did a bad job in the challenge— all the vitriol in these comments strike me as tone deaf.

Exactly. They want you to think being on food stamps means you are sponging off the system and living the life of Riley when the reality is far different. What’s wrong with a celebrity bringing attention to that reality? I say the more the better. As one commentator said, her mother works at a food bank and the media…

Punishing people for raising awareness about poverty is actually far more shitty than raising awareness about poverty

The WHOLE POINT of the challenge is to give privileged people the perspective of the underprivileged. She didn’t create it, she’s just playing along, and bringing a lot of attention to it in the process. Why on earth are we criticizing her for participating in something intended to broaden empathy for an important…

I’m not sure I completely understand the disdain for this. Yes, Gwyneth Paltrow is almost always tone-deaf about her privilege. But in this case, she’s bringing attention to how woefully inadequate support for people is in this country. I suppose I can see the criticism about poverty voyeurism, but ultimately I do…

That’s basically like giving your vote to the Republicans. Don’t do it!

My girlfriend and I saw a Beachboys concert when we were sixteen. Yes, dinosaurs still roamed the earth. Anyways, after the concert, she found out what motel they were in and we drove there. Other girls were already rushing the stairs when we pulled up. We started running up the stairs and I peed my pants. I mean I…

I mean like. Ok I guess. I wish we even had like, a choice. I get that the party probably doesn’t want to put up a fragmented front and that everyone needs to rally around one person right away or else death. But I still wish we had actual other choices.

“President Ted Cruz.”

If Hillary is the Democratic nominee, people better vote for her. I don’t care if you disagree with some of her policies. We all do. But don’t not vote, or vote for a third party candidate in protest. That would pretty much guarantee a Republican victory, a two-term presidency, and Republican-appointed Supreme Court…

Thanks for the reply :) I feel so awkward asking people I know to help me find someone, but I guess no matter what route I go, it’s bound to be awkward! I’m definitely not a person who could handle Tinder or anything like that, so I will avoid those for sure. I know what you mean about just stumbling on someone once…

I do have one suggestion, for your stomach (it’ll help the throat a little too), but it’s dependent on what you have in the kitchen.

So I’m writing my final exam on the 23rd and then I am done. I was enrolled in a 3 year program, but it fucking sucks and I hate it. So I’m finishing early and getting a certificate instead. I hope it can help a little bit. I have been trying to find a job, but being a single mom, living away from the downtown area…

Obviously I am only one woman, but I think that is a very acceptable and respectful way to go about it. You’re not putting any pressure on her on the spot, you’re not expecting anything in return, you’re just offering her the choice. Sounds good to me.

Good evening Jezzies. I hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday. I am reaching out for wisdom and advice on this fine evening.
